Feel compelled to write in here again, as it has officially been ONE YEAR since my operation and it still remains the best decision I've ever made. My body confidence has soared and I feel so much more at ease with my body, both in (and out) of clothes. I have regained full sensitivity (it took about 4-5 months and my scars are quite faint (they'll never go away completely). So if anyone has any questions to ask me about recovery let me know. I am a wealth of tips!

It's been a while since I've posted, but I am now 3 months on from my operation and things are back to normal now. Looking back on my old photos now I can still hardly believe that I used to look how I did...
Scar treatment is still ongoing and it's still slow to recover- they are still red- but only underneath, the vertical scarring is barely visible and the scars around the nipples blend in quite nicely. As for their shape, one breast looks oddly scalloped underneath but according to my surgeon they will settle over the next few months.
My 3 month check up went well but he told me to carry on with the scar treatment- I ordered a quite expensive tube of dermatix gel, have yet to see any results from that. (Also using Circa care gel sheets.)
I've gone down 2 cup sizes and spent a bit of time the other day throwing out all my old bras- they are huge in comparison to how they are now. It's so nice to be a more regular size- bras are more accessible when you are in the A-DD bracket.
I've been told to have another check up with my surgeon in 6 months time. It should be interesting to see how they look then...they look better in real life then they do captured on camera so I'm not too concerned.
Does anyone have any info on scar treatment? When did you notice them starting to fade to silver?

In your previous updates you mention that ypur boobs felt all hard and lumpy underneath...i have that alot right now...did that settle down for you in the end?..what abput nip sensation..did that come back?.xx

I'm just having a quick check as I write this(!) the hard lumpiness has pretty much gone- apart from where the T incisions meet- but that's it. I have nipple sensation but they aren't as sensitive as they were- however I was expecting no sensation ever so that was a nice surprise to feel anything at all. X

Thanks for replying...did you habe any issues at all with wound healing...ive just started to peek under the tape..im going to fully take it off tomorrow...and i notice a slightly unclosed bit...almost like a lip of skin where it hasnt fully snapped shut..its tiny but its there non the less.xx

Are you taking it off yourself or is the nurse doing it? Try not to peek too soon- it's probably still stitched together- I found that after the first week or so I still had stitches intact- they took ages to dissolve. How are you finding sleeping and general mobility? x

Thanks so much for your review! I am scheduled for a TT, breast lift and augmentation mid May, but I've been having some anxiety about the implant. I know studies show they don't cause autoimmune diseases, but I already have autoimmune diseases so the idea of adding to anything is frightening to me as I already struggle with my health. Having three kids, I don't have time to feel potentially worse! Your experience has been exciting for me to find. Your before photos resemble my breasts a lot and your afters are amazing! They are what I would wish! So thanks for sharing!

Thanks so much! I'm so glad my blog has helped you- this site has been invaluable to me in terms of getting advice from people. That's quite a huge operation you're having- I've heard the recovery from a TT can last quite a bit longer than a BL so I'm sending you all my best wishes! x

Your results w/o implants are so good... I hope the scars fade fast although they are excellent to begin with and not bad at all. Congrats on the whole procedure!

Well its been 4 weeks since my operation- things are looking good and healing nicely. I'm exercising again and sleeping in a sort of semi-side position nicely. The only thing that concerns me is how they...feel...the tissue underneath my crease scars is still very hard and lumpy- and quite tender to the touch. The nurse mentioned that I should start massaging them with bio oil to loosen them up but should I do this if it hurts a little? Does anyone have any experience of this?

Mine still feel 'woody' and I'm 10 weeks PO. That's scar tissue. As it matures the incision will be quite red, raised and look messy before they get better. I have decided to wait to apply stuff to them, gentle massage over the lumpy bits will help to de-sensitize them. xx

How many weeks did you wait before you started scar treatment? I'm worried that if I start rubbing them too soon it will make it worse!

After all the scabs had come off I started with bio oil. I'm still going with it now I'm trying for minimal scars. Fingers crossed

Hi I am a little further on from you. I had my op on the 5th October. So I think thats about 17 weeks. My scars were very scary for quite a while then all of a sudden they seemed to settle and even out. Use the bio oil I did and I am sure it helped. I have also softened up now. They don't look hard and fake anymore.

How are you feeling??! Did you get an implant too or just a lift? xoxo
January 23, 2013
I'm feeling good thanks, back to normal more or less, just starting scar treatment now- I just had an uplift, no implants x

Hows your recovery, ive just had an implant removal and full anchor...sleeping on my back is the worst thing. Feels like it will be ages before im ready for side sleeping though.xx
